Realizing I have flaws, helps me understand people and theirs.

Realizing my emotional and mental limits, forces me to try harder.

Realizing I’m a selfish person, makes me want to be more self-sacrificing.

Realizing I’m not at the pinnacle, leaves me striving for the top.

Realizing who I am, is better defined by who I am in Christ.

Knowing I’ve been forgiven, cleansed, saved…changes everything.

Memoir by definition is the account of something noteworthy, narrative composed of personal experience, autobiography.

I was reading Stephen Christian’s blog (Anberlin’s lead singer) this morning and he discussed the six word memoir.

From The Modesty Writer’s Guild:

Nobody cared, then they did. Why?
- Chuck Klosterman

70 years, few tears, hairy ears.
- Bill Querengesser

“For Sale: baby shoes, never worn”
-Ernest Hemingway

recently people have been putting pictures to their 6 word memoir and they have been incredible. here are some on this NPR LINK.

so i think it would be great if each one of us did one about ourself. perhaps post a photoshopped picture and 6 words, or just your 6 word memoir all on its own. either way, i think it would be so interesting to see each others lives in a simple 6 words.

Stephen used: Left Behind a Left Behind Child,
alternates included:
always looking, never finding. feeling found.
lonely child found fame, lost self.

There’s a childhood pic of him in the post, feel free to see it for yourself.

Here’s mine:

( ( ( Ever curious, Always seeking, Sometimes falling ) ) )

Alternates:
Constant Striving to be More Than
Life through Life of Other’s Gravitas
Forever fortunate to live with passion
Aways better than the next guy
Mr. Celery better watch is back (inside joke)

What would yours be?
